L.A.D.S.

STORE  

Watts & Associates uses L.A.D.S.© (Learning Assessing Diagnosing Solutions), as an action learning and research method to guide its Value Design Model.

Learning, analysis, diagnosis, and solution generation are continuous processes, during every client engagement:

Learning the client's current state:

Vision, mission, and core values,

Analyzing the client's performance or culture gaps and "VACS": (Unidentified and long-standing gaps),

Diagnosing the client's readiness: Capacity and motivation, and

Solution Creation -  designing strategies to reduce/eliminate gaps and/or Vacs. 

Training for Healthy Growth

Our approach to training begins with a clarification that training is not the same or a substitute for coaching.

To borrow an example from the field of athletics, "training is what occurs to prepare athletes and coaches for a coming season, it is not what takes place once the season begins, coaching does…." (Dr. Robert Watts).

Our training approach is a planned, controlled, and structured learner centered experience. It is shaped by...

  • The learner's learning style, transferable knowledge, and availability,
  • The organization's urgency
  • The organization's access to resources, 

The approach integrates the client's core values (Leading behavioral indicators) with real time tasks and key performance indicators - because, adding these components accelerate the integration of skills and knowledge. 

All training engagements are designed to accomplish two primary outcomes:

  1. Impart the appropriate level of knowledge to achieve competency and capacity goals. 
  2.  Provide a seamless transition to coaching.

The training is delivered in a timely manner to ensure erosion of information doesn't occur before coaching begins.

Coaching for Healthy Growth

Too often coaching is relegated to what happens in the "other world" after gaps in performance or behavior go from "soft to hard." As a result, it is frequently procured as a last resource intervention. Thus, triage coaching is the result, and it seldom generates the impact required. Consequently, resources are wasted, human capital lost, and a stigma is attached to coaching by the organization.

For us coaching is where the action is at! Hence, it is introduced as a proactive and planned part of the training design. This strategy is critical for successful integration given the fast pace of business today. Moreover, for coaching to be successful, it is essential that the learner enjoy the experience. To this end, multi learning styles  are embedded seamlessly in training models. Consequently, learners can move smoothly to supervised action while the knowledge is organized and fresh in mind.

Our training and coaching approach uses two of our mobile accessible training and coaching design platforms. The platforms bolster the integration of training with performance for the convenience of learners, reduce cost and navigate through challenges of crises caused by natural disasters.  Black Professionals In Tech.

I.C.T.C.M. Internal Training Consulting & Coaching Model

Watts & Associates mobilizes its Internal Consulting Training and Coaching Model (ICTCM) to provide clients with the tools to reduce the talent gap impacting their businesses.

ICTCM is a structured framework that develops and sustains healthy learning environments. 

The urgency for ICTCM is evidenced in a WorkingNation article Working Nation : "We are in a new economy that competes on talent, yet the talent financing and development systems we rely on were built for a different era and economy."

For this reason, ICTCM works in tandem with SOIG (SHOW Observe Interact Grow), a companion Performance Management Software Platform.

SOIG equips talent at every level with the tools to efficiently transfer knowledge and skills to other stakeholders.

  • Empowers every team member to transfer their knowledge to others, producing a higher ROI on training.

  • Strengthens organizational response to change, problem solving, and decision making.

  • Lowers turnover.

 

The impact of ICTCM is illustrated in the ICTCM 8 Benefits Model:
